[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2678831, member: 517579"] The problem with the health shop advice seems to be that they're not advising you about what you need to do to deal with high blood glucose. The only way to be sure is to try the food item in isolation, testing before you eat and again two hours later. The meter result will tell you how you dealt with the carb in the food (and there will be a lot of carb in grains, including rye bread or oats). Ideally your system will have dealt with the glucose lift inside the two hours, and your blood glucose levels should be back at or near where you started - no more than 2mmol/l higher, anyway. This wouldn't happen for me with (eg) bread or pastry (or it didn't happen last time I tried anything similar) and I therefore don't eat that sort of thing. I have had relatives asking me "what they tell me to eat" on my odd diet - the answer I give is that there's nothing that I [U]must[/U] eat, but there's a fair amount that I mustn't. [/QUOTE]
